noticing that I have four Pez dispensers on my desk but no Pez. Empty Pez dispensers..how sad for them. Complete uselessness. There must be a way to convert them into something. Perhaps I will rip their little heads off and make a mini-totem pole. Stormtrooper on the bottom, then Goofy, then Spiderman and as the prizm in the lighthouse...Santa. Ah yes! And then it will be glued to the top of my monitor and spoken to in borrowed French thus making my desk a sacred shrine to Atrabilious.
Or maybe I'll drink this Billy Beer thats been traveling with me since the Carter administration and has the value, strangly enough, of a bag of peanuts.

just finished installing 8000BTU's of Freon Love, baby.

there are a bunch of puerto rican mamis down at The Wiz hitting on guys buying air conditioners. i guess that's one way to keep cool.
i'm far too hungover, hungry, and heat-stricken to bother with any of that shit. i just want as much freon love pumped into the crib as mechanically possible.
and it would be nice if i could get that rank smell of stale beer out of my apartment,too.

guess it's time to mop the floor again...

anyway, the floor can wait.
i am here to testify.

There Is A God.

OK, I'm more than just a little clueless here. Where's the Elvis reference? I looked at the big picture - sweaters, cans, fence, no Elvis. What I really hate is that it is probably something obvious. Everbody tell me just how clueless I am.

it's all about peripheral vision.
like when i saw whatever it was out of the corner of my eye that summer, that thing that peaked out at me from behind the bushes and then quickly receded back, leaving only the red and blue trail that i see in my memory.
back then it was the silver volkswagen in the driveway, the african american studies house across the street, meghan in the yard behind the bushes next to mine. she never liked the fried plantain chips my mom made. never saw her grow up. she got hit by the truck on the highway by the stadium. her mother died from the stomach cancer that ate away her insides, and her father eventually moved away to coach at susquehanna. he had a massive coronary and passed away shortly after his wife.
i always remember standing at the top of the driveway and seeing that strange flash by the bushes at times like these.
i could have only been seven or eight, but it's one of the few memories of my childhood that i remember vividly. a bee in the grass, then a flash by the bush, then standing and staring at the spot until my mother came out and announced that the curry was finished and lunch was being served.
meghan kept swinging back and forth and singing her song, my mom stood on the porch, looking towards me, and i just kept staring at the spot by the bushes.
whatever it was never came back.
but i still remember every vivid detail.
and everytime someone i know dies the memory comes back, for whatever reason.

yesterday i detailed the new old Volvo. today i can hardly move. the guy i bought it from weighs about 500 pounds. it didn't look like a big car when he was in it. now of course i cannot go anywhere, because ten yards on my road will negate the whole tiresome process. there is a pattern developing, of getting old Volvos from extremely large persons. what can this mean?

houndquarters nearly finished, only stretching the fence (the worst part) is left, and making the gate. last night i went just outside and watched the fireworks down in the flats, fifty miles away. it's been exactly three years since i moved up here.

psb, you are a world class artiste and a mensch. we love you madly.

hey mark, answer your phone!

i'm about to leave sheila's place. don't really want to go yet, but paula and i have another destination to reach, hopefully by noontime.

it's been a treat. i got to hug and kiss all the vicodin hounds, took photos of lucy and the crew. unfortunately four of the baby ducks drown last night, but i got to see all seven of them swimming in the kiddie pool. lame duck didn't look all too lame, i'll just take sheila's word on that one.

horses, goats, and more. hanging with sheila in 3D was the best part. we've photographed the whole thing, don't fret.

there's so much more, including the tree frog that fell out of the bathroom in the guest house, but those stories will have to wait until i'm back in hawaii.

just checking in, after a long weekend, had such a surreal weekend, hits of x were my fireworks, saw the ones from dodger stadium, but the one's in my head looked and felt better, heard of the blackout in NYC, ironically saw summer of sam yesterday, good movie, people bitch to much about spike lee, he makes good movies,

trying to catch up with the messages, i still have bottle rockets in my ass, they are duds, my love was in such a good mood, she reciprocated, she must be ovulating, hello all,

trying to imagine that i could think about stuff and do my work, which is thinking about stuff, while people were watching. would i get a cult following of those who live to see me squinting at maps and writing reports? would anyone want to see me poring over ordinance codes for more than ten seconds. of course i could dress gaudily, or change my hair frequently, or do something to make it interesting. but i don't think i could be oblivious, and i wonder if mark is, after all this time. of course, he won't be now.

i am bereft since the loss of bed cam. i still mourn, so long after the end.

harvesting seeds, picking up feathers, in the scoping stages of rolling the compost heap.

now that i have seen a sorabjite, i'm getting greedy and want to see them all. for my life list.

Nothing like snooping to find out what you did and did not want to know.

I'm both happy, silly, and pissed.

one minute she's sobbing about me "pushing her away" on an emotional level, next it's what a lousy bitch I am.

This is the person who has spent her whole life repeating to her older sister how much she hated her, then ran crying if I so much as hinted that I didn't like her.

Damn straight I don't like her.

I don't think I ever did.

She's a person that has alot of good qualities, but these are overpowered compleatly by her hidious additude.
She's hidious.

The pain she's caused me and my parents does not allow me to love her.
